Motorists on Highway 5 in
Arlington will no longer need
to stop at the intersection
with Main Street after Mon-
day, March 4, according to
the Minnesota Department of
Transportation (Mn/DOT).
However, cross traffic or mo-
torists on Main Street will
need to heed a stop sign be-
fore entering the intersection
when it is clear.
The evaluation and poten-
tial removal of the signal is to
improve traffic flow and safe-
ty. Current and forecasted
traffic is not high enough to
warrant the signal at Highway
5 and Main Street that has
been in place for at least 30
years, according to MnDOT
records.
Replacing the signal with
through-stop control (a two-
way stop) is expected to re-
duce the frequency and sever-
ity of crashes, based on crash
records from other urban
through-stop controlled inter-
sections on the state highway
system. It is believed that
through-stop controlled inter-
sections have fewer crashes
because motorists are re-
quired to be attentive and ac-
tively look for a safe gap in
traffic, rather than relying on
a traffic signal indication that
does not tell the motorist if it
is safe to enter the intersec-
tion.
As part of the proposed re-
moval of the signal, MnDOT
is currently working with the
City of Arlington on the
placement of pedestrian-acti-
vated flashing warning signs
to facilitate the crossing of
Highway 5.
Crews from the Minnesota
Department of Transportation
will cover the signal lights on
Monday, March 4 and add the
following signs:
• Traffic Control Change
Ahead – on all four approach-
es (Hwy 5 and Main Street)
• Stop Signs with flashing
LED lights – on both Main
Street approaches
• Cross traffic does not stop
– on both Main Street ap-
proaches, below the stop
signs
• Temporary pedestrian
crossing signs – on the
northerly Hwy 5 approach
• MnDOT will be evaluat-
ing the traffic operations of
the revised intersection over a
90- day period. If during the
evaluation no adverse traffic
impacts are observed by
MnDOT, then the signal will
be removed as part of the
Highway 5 resurfacing proj-
ect scheduled for this sum-
mer. The removal of the sig-
nal would result in cost sav-
ings to both the City of Ar-
lington and MnDOT.

A digital projection system
with seven-speaker surround
sound is now featured at the
Lido Theater in downtown
Arlington.
Owners Stan and Carol
Batten recently purchased the
new state-of-the-art equip-
ment for $76,900.
The couple received word
from their agent about two
years ago that movie compa-
nies would be ending film in
the summer of 2013. Stan and
Carol had a choice to either
close the theater or purchase
the new system.
“We didn’t want to close
the door so we thought we
should purchase the new sys-
tem,” said Carol.
Stan laughed, “If we didn’t
convert to digital, we would
be showing our slides from
Yellowstone.”
He added that, “The new
system cost more than the
original cost to buy the the-
ater.”
The equipment for the sys-
tem started to arrive over a
four-month period and took
four days to install and test.
Carol received only one
day of training along with a
“manual that looks like an
LA phone book,” said Stan.
Was Carol nervous about
only one day of training?
“Oh, you bet. ” I was real
nervous,” she said.
Carol has four pages of
steps to follow when she
downloads hard drive into the
projector.
On a brighter note, the cou-
ple has a technician on call
24/7.
Monster, Inc. was the first
movie shown using the new
digital projection system at
the Lido Theater on Friday
night, Feb. 15.
The evening, according to
the couple, went without a
flaw.
There are many benefits to
the digital projection system
compared to the old 35 mil-
limeter platter system, ac-
cording to Stan and Carol.
The new system features
automatic focus and framing.
There is a 3,000 watt bulb
which makes for a brighter
picture. There is also quad
track digital sound. Seven
speakers, three on each side
of the 295-seat theater and
one behind the screen, are
featured compared to one.
There are no scratches and
splices in the movies. The
current movies are much
faster than the old film for-
mat. There is a much broader
range of titles and material
which enable film archives to
be shown if desired. The solid
state projection equipment
runs much more quietly with
virtually no moving parts.
There is also automatic start
and shutdown. In addition,
the new studio contracts will
enable the Lido Theater to
participate in more national
openings of feature films.
With the purchase and in-
stallation of the digital pro-
jection system, Stan and
Carol have increased ticket
prices from $4 to $5 for chil-
dren and $5 to $6. 50 for
adults.
The admission price, the
couple said, is still the lowest
around and they do not fore-
see another increase in the fu-
ture.
“These ticket prices will re-
main for a long time,” said
Stan.
The couple is also quick to
point out that the concession
stand has popcorn and candy
which starts at $1 and drinks
which start at $1.50.
Stan and Carol, who pur-
chased the Lido Theater in
April of 1998, are also proud
to exclaim, “We use real but-
ter on our popcorn.”
The couple is also very
happy about its website
which is coordinated by web-
master and local resident Dan
Hislop at lidotheaterarling-
ton.zxq.net.
Stan said 40 percent of the
independent theaters across
the nation have closed or will
close due to the ending of
film. He further commented
that there will be about 10
single screen independents
left in Minnesota once film is
discontinued.
The Lido Theater, thanks to
the recent purchase and in-
stallation of a digital projec-
tion system with seven-
speaker surround sound, will
be one of those few remain-
ing single screen independent
theaters in Minnesota.

Dr. Lyle Rud has reported
that the Arlington Animal
Clinic will be sold to the
Minnesota Valley Veterinary
Services effective Friday,
March 1.
Dr. Rud will continue to
work for the new business on
a part-time basis as needed
for up to one year.
The veterinarians have
worked part-time with Dr.
Rud for two years.
“I feel very comfortable
selling to them and continu-
ing the tradition of the Ar-
lington Animal Clinic,” said
Dr. Rud.
History
Dr. Rud and his wife,
Betty, both grew up on farms
near Pelican Rapids and “re-
ally enjoyed the lifestyle.”
During his third year in
chemistry at Moorhead State
College, a professor called
Dr. Rud into his office. The
professor said, “Lyle, you are
a very good chemistry stu-
dent, but your handwriting is
so bad that you will not be
able to explain what you are
doing to anyone.”
A light bulb flashed in his
head and Dr. Rud thought,
“No one expects to read what
a medical doctor writes. I’ve
seen their prescriptions and it
looks a lot like my writing.
So Dr. Rud decided he
would pursue medicine. He
applied to medical school in
1965, but Congress passed
Medicare and he knew he did
not want to work in rural
America under that system.
He then decided to apply to
the Veterinary Medicine
School.
Dr. Rud was later accepted,
but he needed to pay $10 to
have his spot reserved.
“We were not so sure this
was what we really wanted,
and for us, $10 would be a lot
to lose if I decided not to go,”
said Dr. Rud. “Betty’s mother
said, ‘Here is the $10 and if
you don’t go, you don’t have
to pay it back.’”
Dr. Rud added, “We don’t
know if we ever paid her
back. It was the best Valen-
tine’s Day gift Betty and I
ever received together.”
In 1970, Dr. Rud, along
with his wife, Betty, and their
son, Jeff, were looking for a
new home which could be a
permanent fixture for the
family.
Their first visit with Dr.
Ken and Jan Schulte went
well, Dr. Rud recalled.
“They took us out for din-
ner at the Coachlight Inn
along with some Arlington
residents and farmers,” Dr.
Rud said. “We felt very wel-
comed.”
The Rud family came back
to town two weeks later and
toured the community.
By the end of the day, with
what the Arlington State
Bank called “creative financ-
ing,” the Rud family pur-
chased their new home where
the couple still resides today.
Dr. Rud recalled that he
started work on June 28,
1970. Within two weeks, Dr.
Schulte and his family went
on a much needed two-week
vacation.
Dr. Rud, at that time,
thought, “How can he trust
me with only two weeks of
experience?”
The week, he said, went

Sibley East Elementary
Principal Mari Lu Martens, a
member of the Minnesota El-
ementary School Principals’
Association (MESPA), is one
of three finalists for Minneso-
ta 2013 National Distin-
guished Principal (NDP).
This marks the 30th year
MESPA and the National As-
sociation of Elementary
School Principals (NAESP)
have presented the presti-
gious award which has the
corporate sponsorship from
VALIC.
“At the helm of every suc-
cessful school is a successful
principal,” said Gail Connel-
ly, NAESP executive director.
“Our National Distinguished
Principals program provides
us with an opportunity to rec-
ognize the outstanding lead-
ership of these principals and
their commitment to creating
successful learning communi-
ties. Because of them, stu-
dents thrive academically,
teachers grow professionally,
and communities are
strengthened.”
The National Distinguished
Principals (NDP) program
was established in 1984 to
recognize elementary and
middle level principals who
set high standards for instruc-
tion, student achievement,
character, and climate for the
students, families, and staffs
in their learning communi-
ties. The program is based on
three fundamental ideas:
• Children’s attitudes to-
ward learning and their per-
ceptions of themselves as
lifelong learners are estab-
lished in the beginning school
years.
• The scope and quality of
children’s educational experi-
ences are determined primari-
ly by the school principal,
who establishes, through the
important work of teachers
and the support of caring par-
ents, the character of a partic-
ular school’s program.
• The dedication and enthu-
siasm of the outstanding
princpals who guide chil-
dren’s early education experi-
ences should be acknowl-
edged to both show apprecia-
tion for their work as well as
to allow them to serve as
models for others in the field.
The NDP program is de-
signed to recognize the out-
standing leadership of active,
on-line princiapals. Criteria
established by the NAESP re-
quire that the individual:
• Is a practicing principal
with at least five years expe-
rience in the principalship.
• Plans to continue as a
practicing principal.
• Demonstrates evidence of
outstanding contributions to
the community and to the ed-
ucation profession.
• Leads a school that is
clearly committed to excel-
lence.
• Leads a school that has
programs designed to meet
the academic and social needs
of all students.
• Leads a school that has
firm ties to parents and the
community.
Each year, NDPs represent
PreK-8th grade public
schools from all across the
country as well as principals
in U.S. private schools and
those from the United States
Departments of Defense Of-
fice of Educational Activity
and the United States Depart-
ment of State Office of Over-
seas Schools, Public school
elementary and middle-level
principals are nominated by
peers in their state, and final
selections are made by com-
mittees appointed by each of
NAESP’s state affiliate of-
fices.
Martens was nominated by
peers from her Southwest
MESPA division led by
Pamela Kirsch (division pres-
ident and principal, New
Ulm) and received strong ref-
erences from parents, peers
and supervisors. On Feb. 5,
her nomination, letters of ref-
erence, written application,
and a short video highlighting
the students in her school,
were reviewed by a statewide
selection committee incuding
MESPA’s 12 division presi-
dents; the most recent NDP,
Jon Millerhagen of Bloom-
ington; and Mark French,
MESPA NAESP State Repre-
sentative and selection com-
mittee chair. On May 3,
Martens and the other two fi-
nalists will be interviewed
and the committee will deter-
mine the 2013 Minnesota Na-
tional Distinguished Princi-
pal.
In addition to Martens, fi-
nalists for the honor are
Donna Montgomery, princi-
pal of Gatewood Elementary
School, Hopkins Public
Schools; and Lillie Pang,
principal of Hale Community
School, Minneapolis Public
Schools.

Share. That organization
will then match a percent-
age of the total donations
to provide even more re-
sources. All contributions
donated in Sibley County
will stay in Sibley County.
County residents can

Students at the Green Isle
Community School, during
the month of February, col-
lected donations as part of the
22nd annual Pennies for Pa-
tients program to benefit The
Leukemia & Lymphoma soci-
ety (LLS). Students, who
each contributed a little,
learned together as they
counted the money and the
total was an amazing $302!
The homerooms competed
in a penny war with Lindsai
Muench’s homeroom taking
first place.
“I am so incredibly proud
of our students,” said Mary
Menne, Director at Green Isle
Community School. “Blood
cancer affects many people
including my father so watch-
ing our students and staff
give to help children and oth-
ers battling blood cancer was
very moving.”
“These students serve as an
example to all of us through
their commitment to helping
others,” said Kelly Fegley,
campaign director at LLS.
“Their efforts will help local
patients and their families
along funding blood cancer
research at the University of
Minnesota and the Mayo
Clinic.”
Leukemia is the most com-
mon cancer in children and
young adults less than 20
years old. An estimated
1,012,533 Americans are liv-
ing with a blood cancer, and
every four minutes, someone
new is diagnosed. Since
1992, $7.5 million has been
raised locally by thousands of
pre-kindergarten, elementary,
middle, high school and col-
lege students.

The Minnesota Court of
Appeals has denied the ap-
peal of a former pastor from
rural Gibbon found guilty of
molesting a 16-year-old for-
eign exchange student, ac-
cording to the KNUJ Radio
website.
David E. Radtke, who now
lives in Kansas, was convict-
ed of third degree criminal
sexual conduct last year for
inappropriately touching the
girl while she stayed in his
home.
Radtke argued to the ap-
peals court that the girl said
the assault happened while
she was dreaming, and that a
confession he made to Wis-
consin Police should have
been suppressed at trial.
The court disagreed, and
the conviction was upheld.
Radtke was sentenced to 180
days in jail and 15 years of
supervised probation for the
crime. He was also ordered to
complete 200 hours of com-
munity service and register as
a predatory offender. In addi-
tion, he is prohibited from
possessing pornography and
may have no contact with
persons under 18 while on
probation.

The State of Minnesota
Court of Appeals, on Mon-
day, Feb. 25, affirmed a year
old decision by the Honor-
able Thomas G. McCarthy
which denied former Gaylord
resident Kevin Jones post
conviction relief.
Jones, who filed the peti-
tion, asserted two claims of
ineffective assistance of
counsel. Jones claimed his
privately hired defense coun-
sel, Jeffery Degree, failed to
communicate a written offer
from the state to settle the
case for a 48-moth prison
sentence. Jones also claimed
Degree failed to adequately
provide competent represen-
tation through his conduct in
the course of trial prepara-
tion.
Jones, who was terminated
as the Sibley East transporta-
tion director in late December
of 2008, was originally
charged with five counts of
first degree criminal sexual
conduct in Sibley County
District Court durng late Oc-
tober of 2008. The charges
were in connection with a
then alleged sexual relation-
ship between Jones and a
then 15-year-old female stu-
dent.
Jones was also charged
with one felony count of ha-
rassment -- violation of a re-
straining order/falsely imper-
sonating another person in
Sibley County District Court
during early March 2009.
Jones eventually pleaded
guilty to one count of first de-
gree criminal sexual conduct
in Sibley County District
Court on Monday, April 13,
2009. In addition, he also
pleaded guilty to an amended
misdemeanor charge of viola-
tion of an order for protection
at that time. In the plea agree-
ment, four counts of first de-
gree criminal sexual conduct
and one felony count of ha-
rassment -- violation of a re-
straining order/falsely imper-
sonating another person were
dismissed.
Jones was sentenced on a
charge of first degree crimi-
nal sexual conduct in Sibley
County District Court on
Wednesday, June 17, 2009.
Judge McCarthy, at that
time, convicted Jones of the
offense and sentenced him to
serve 144 months in state
prison. Jones must serve 96
months or eight years in
prison and then serve 48
months or four years of su-
pervised release. After that
point, Jones will serve ten
years of conditional release.
Jones, at that time, also ap-
peared at the same sentencing
hearing on a charge of misde-
meanor violation of a re-
straining order.
Judge McCarthy convicted
Jones of the offense and sen-
tenced him to a 90-day con-
current sentence.

As reported in last
week’s Arlington Enter-
prise, the Sibley East
School Board approved a
three-year superintendent
contract with current high
school principal Jim Ams-
den on Tuesday, Feb. 19.
At the time the paper
went to press, the total ben-
efits package was not yet
available, but provided by
the district later in the
week.
Amsden’s total salary
and benefits package for
the 2013-14 school year is
estimated at $153,526.90.
That includes a salary of
$115,000, $7049. 40 in
FICA (Federal Insurance
Contributions Act),
$1,667.50 for Medicare,
$8050 to the Teacher Re-
tirement Association
(TRA), $560 for life and
long term disability insur-
ance premiums, $18,000
for 100 percent family cov-
erage health insurance and
a $3,200 403b match.
The life and long term
disability insurance premi-
ums include $230,000 in
life insurance and $115,000
in long term disability in-
surance.
These figures are esti-
mates due to the fact that
the social security base
wage for 2014 and insur-
ance renewal rates for
2013-14 are not yet avail-
able.
The estimates are based
on 6.2 percent on $113,700
for FICA, 1.45 percent for
Medicare, 7 percent to the
TRA and current insurance
rates.
Based on the same esti-
mates the total contract
amount for the 2014-15
school year is estimated to
be around $154,925.98 and
$156,050.10 for the 2015-
16 school year.
The contract is subject to
Amsden completing all re-
quirements to obtain a Min-
nesota Superintendents Li-
cense by June 30, 2013.
Amsden’s new contract is
effective on July 1, 2013
and will end on June 30,
2016.
New Sibley East superintendent’s total
compensation will exceed $150,000

March is Minnesota
FoodShare Month
Our View: Food shelf donations
mean a little more in March
Opinions
Guest Columns
A number of local and area residents are in need of
food on a consistent basis and the Sibley County Food
Shelf is doing all it can to meet that demand.
According to Sibley County Food Shelf Coordinator
Yvonne O’Brien, there were 2,529 visits to the facility
in Gaylord during 2012. Overall, there was 164,741
pounds of food collected in 2012 which represented
96,144 meals.
The need, she said, has always been there and it has
increased significantly the last few years despite a
slowly recovering economy.
Local and area residents have always given generous-
ly to the Sibley County Food Shelf over the years. Do-
nations of food and money are always welcome during
any month of the year, but especially during March.
The Minneapolis Council of Churches, during March
every year, matches a certain percentage of donations to
food shelves across Minnesota.
In addition, the Feinstein Foundation also matches a
certain percentage of donations to food shelves in Min-
nesota during the months of March and April.
Local and area residents are encouraged to participate
in this food drive as a number of churches and civic or-
ganizations across Sibley County will collect food and
money donations in conjunction with March is Min-
nesota FoodShare Month. Residents can donate as indi-
viduals as well. The need is always there.

A preacher dies, and when he gets
to heaven, he sees a New York cab
driver who has more crowns. He
says to an angel, “I don't get it. I de-
voted my whole life to my congrega-
tion.”
The angel says, “We reward re-
sults. Did your congregation always
pay attention when you gave a ser-
mon?”
The preacher says, “Once in a
while someone fell asleep.”
The angel says, “Right. And
when people rode in this guy's
taxi, they not only stayed awake,
but they usually prayed!”
*****
At a high school, a group of stu-
dents played a prank: they let three
goats loose inside the school.
But before turning them loose,
they painted numbers on the sides of
the goats: 1, 2, and 4.
School administrators spent
most of the day looking for num-
ber 3.
*****
A minister announced that admis-
sion to a church social event would
be six dollars per person. “However,
if you're over 65,” he said, “the price
will be only $5.50.”
From the back of the congrega-
tion, a woman's voice rang out,
“Do you really think I'd give you
that information for only 50
cents?”
*****
The owner of a priceless antiques
collection allowed a museum to ex-
hibit his treasures. The movers
packed the vases while the collector
hovered over them.
“Do be careful,” he cautioned one
burly mover. “That vase is nearly
two thousand years old.”
“Don't worry," the guy replied.
"I'll treat it like it was brand
new.”
*****
Matt was on vacation in Atlantic
City, playing the slot machines. It
was his first time in a casino, and
wasn’t sure how the machines oper-
ated.
“Excuse me,” he said to a casino
employee. “How does this work?”
The worker showed him how to
insert a bill, hit the spin button, and
operate the release handle.
“And where does the money come
out?” asked Matt.
“Usually at the ATM.” replied
the casino employee.
*****
Two confirmed bachelors sat talk-
ing and their conversation drifted
from politics to cooking.
“I got a cookbook once,” said one,
“but I could never do anything with
it.”
“Too much fancy work in it, eh?”
asked the other.
“You said it,” his friend replied.
“Every one of the recipes began
the same way - ‘Take a clean
dish.’”
*****
The businessman dragged himself
home and barely made it to his chair
before he dropped, exhausted.
His sympathetic wife was right
there with a tall cool drink and a
comforting word.
“My, you look tired,” she said.
“You must have had a hard day
today. What happened to make you
so exhausted?”
“It was terrible,” her husband
said, “The computer broke down
and all of us had to do our own
thinking.”
By Lee H. Hamilton
Earlier this year, it seemed there
might be some hope for Capitol Hill
when Congress dealt easily with
raising the debt ceiling. But don’t let
that single episode fool you. As
President Obama and House Repub-
licans circle each other over the
forthcoming budget cuts known as
the “sequester,” it’s a reminder that
Congress and the White House have
a complicated legislative agenda
ahead — and that none of the items
on it will come easily.
We’ll get to the specifics in a mo-
ment, but two things need to be said
up front. The first is that despite
President Obama’s exhortations in
his State of the Union speech, major
policy changes will be difficult to
make. The Democrats may have in-
creased their margin in the Senate,
but the Republicans still control the
House. The ideological polarization
and apparently incompatible views
that marked dealings between the
two bodies show no sign of abating.
Significant policy initiatives are not
impossible, but it’s safest to have
subdued expectations.
Second, although rank-and-file
members seem more willing than in
the recent past to part with their cau-
cuses on high-profile votes, power
will continue to rest with the leader-
ship. Over the year ahead, the dy-
namic to watch will involve the cau-
cus leaders in both houses — ordi-
nary members may have some im-
pact on the margins, but they won’t
be the center of the action.
The big issue, of course, will con-
tinue to be the budget and fiscal af-
fairs. The major questions are: Can
we get our fiscal house in order?
Can we revive economic growth and
make the investments we need in
human and physical capital? And
can we figure out a reasonable way
to pay for the government we re-
quire — one that doesn’t need the
73,000 pages of rules and regula-
tions that burden our current tax
code?
However Congress and the White
House proceed, it’s unlikely there
will be any “grand bargain.” Instead,
they are likely to make piecemeal
progress on the core issues: increas-
ing tax revenues and cutting spend-
ing on entitlements. Confrontations
over these matters will make it hard-
er to tackle other economic issues
that need addressing, such as how to
address the regulation of the biggest
banks and how to finance the infra-
structure that our economic growth
desperately needs.
Congress will also turn to health
care. As long as President Obama is
in office, his signature health plan
will not be repealed, but there will
almost certainly be fights over its
implementation and funding. The
big issue — how to control health-
care costs — will remain a center-
piece of the debate, but it is unclear
how it will get addressed.
On the other hand, there is unam-
biguous movement on immigration
reform. While Democrats have coa-
lesced around a comprehensive ap-
proach to the issue — which would
include ways of easing the stay of
highly skilled workers, a guest-
worker program, and a path to citi-
zenship for the 11 million illegal im-
migrants in the country — Republi-
cans have generally preferred tack-
ling specific issues separately.
The two sides can find common
ground, especially on high-skilled
workers. Possible citizenship, on the
other hand, will be much knottier to
resolve. So while the gridlock may
be easing, comprehensive reform of
our broken immigration system is
not assured.
You can also look for piece-by-
piece initiatives on gun control.
While the White House and some
members of Congress are looking
for wide-ranging legislation banning
assault weapons and high-capacity
magazines, others are focused on
specific proposals that can gain bi-
partisan support. Some members
with widely different views, for in-
stance, are coalescing around an ef-
fort to expand requirements for
background checks on gun sales.
Climate change, which gained na-
tional force last year with Hurricane
Sandy, is less likely to see congres-
sional action. Despite the certain
threat of rising seas and storm
surges, Congress seems unprepared
to get serious about it. Instead, as he
promised in the State of the Union,
if Congress cannot act the President
will take whatever steps he can by
executive order, as he just did with
cyber-security.
There are drawbacks to this ap-
proach, but it is a reminder that
when Congress is able to act it re-
mains a player, and when it can’t, it
deals itself out of the policy picture.

Center on Congress at Indiana Uni-
versity. He was a member of the
U.S. House of Representatives for

Work on the new ﬁlling station,
which is being constructed for Harvey
Kamps on the lot between the John
Luhring home and the railroad track is
progressing nicely, and the establish-

weeks. We understand the station will
handle the products of the Cities Serv-
ice Oil Co.
Starting with next week’s issue, The

department for the convenience of its
readers to be known as the “Swap” Col-
umn. Paid in advance subscribers of the

Ofﬁcials of the Minneapolis & St.
Louis Railroad Co. were here last week
Wednesday and met with a delegation
of local businessmen. The railroad men
gave out the information that they pro-
posed to make a drastic cut in the pas-
senger service on this division. We un-
derstand the railroad company’s plan
calls for the removal of the so-called
New Ulm train entirely and also the
midday passengers, leaving only one
passenger train each way daily.

The question of school reorganiza-
tion for the Arlington area will be de-
cided at an election next Saturday, Feb-
ruary 28. All qualiﬁed voters of the area
may vote at this election. In order to
carry, the voting must be favorable in
each of two units - city and rural. The
Arlington district (No. 69) counts as
one unit and the rural districts included
in the proposed new district make up
the other unit. The Arlington area now
is the only remaining area in the county
to consider reorganization.

sewing contest. Each entrant had to sub-
mit a colored photo of a garment she
sewed. There were 1,044 entrants and
out of these 25 semi-ﬁnalists were
picked. The semi-ﬁnalists each were re-
quired to send their garments to New
York City for judging. Denise sent a
coat she had made. Hers was one of six
picked for the ﬁnal elimination. She

The A-GI School Board, during a
special meeting Tuesday night, took ac-
tion on several proposed cost adjust-
ment recommendations for staff. Over-
all, 17 staff people from the elementary
and secondary schools were affected by
the individual resolutions adopted at the
meeting. A-GI Superintendent Nordy
Nelson informed the crowd of about
100 teachers, parents, students and
other individuals that the local school
district will have a debt of approximate-
ly $350,000 to $400,000 in the general
fund by the end of the current year. If
no cost adjustments are made now, he
added, the school district would over-
spend an additional $385,000 next year.

she married Wayne Sheldon
in Pipestone. She was a

well and was a “real confi-
dence booster.”
Dr. Rud came to work with
only a six-month contract, but
when the couple’s second
child, Rachelle, arrived on
Dec. 3, 1970, he realized that
he could not make it on his
salary.
“Let’s forget the wage ne-
gotiation,” Dr. Schulte said at
the time. “How would you
like to become a full part-
ner?”
The rest is history, accord-
ing to Dr. Rud.
The question most often
asked of Dr. Rud over the
years is, “Where did you
come from?”
“Betty and I are both from
Pelican Rapids, same class,
same row in school,” said Dr.
Rud. “For many years, we
would refer to home as Peli-
can Rapids which confused
our children, Jeff, Shelly
(Rachelle) and Brad, who
thought Arlington was home.
After over 40 years, now we
say our home is Arlington.
We plan to stay in Arlington
as long as we have the energy
to maintain our home.”
What is the most difficult
part of being a veterinarian?
“For me, without a doubt, it
is to balance your life be-
tween profession, family,
community and yourself,” Dr.
Rud explained. “Being on call
was the hardest part. I have to
thank family and friends for
being so tolerant of me when
I didn’t show up on time for a
meal, missing a weekend plan
or leaving in the middle of an
evening’s entertainment, all
because I was on call. I am so
grateful that during the
busiest time of my life, I had
three veterinarians to share
this duty, Dr. Larry Slinden,
Dr. Robert Ovrebo and Dr.
Daryl Rustad. I can really em-
pathize with people that have
on call hours.”
Dr. Rud, who retired from
large animal medicine in
2006, said he has the most
thankful job of anybody.”
“People see my staff and I
feel that every time they call
us they are thanking us for
our work and giving us anoth-
er shot. I have been very
blessed with about as many
phone calls as I could han-
dle.”
Dr. Rud and Betty would
like to thank everybody in the
Sibley County area for the
many opportunities and
friendships they have had in
the past 43 years.
“It has been a privilege and
honor to live and serve in the
community,” said Dr. Rud.
An Appreciation Open
House will be held for clients,
family and friends at the Ar-
lington Community Center
from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday,
April 19.

FFA Day at the State Capitol
Students from the Sibley East FFA chapter par-
ticipated in FFA Day at the State Capitol in St.
Paul on Thursday, Feb. 21. They lobbied for
various agricultural issues. Left to right: Liz
Thies, Courtney Eibs, Zack Klaers, State Rep-
resentative Glenn Gruenhagen, Anna Woehler
and Sam Thies.
With Minnesota’s national-
ly recognized Statewide
Health Improvement Program
(SHIP), the concept of pro-
moting healthy communities
as a way to reduce health care
costs continues to catch on.
“Communities across the
state are recognizing the need
to take a community-wide ap-
proach to combating obesity
and tobacco use – two of the
biggest factors pushing up
health care costs,” Commis-
sioner of Health Ed Ehlinger
said. “Healthy living isn’t just
an issue for the health depart-
ment or local clinics, it is an
issue that all parts of the
community needs to ad-
dress.”
On Monday, Minnesota’s
Statewide Health Improve-
ment Program released its
third-year progress report.
The report found that, though
SHIP entered its third year a
much smaller program than
intended because of budget
cuts, it made significant
progress towards its goals by
partnering with hundreds of
schools, clinics and work-
places across Minnesota.
After receiving $47 million
in its first two years, SHIP re-
ceived a 70 percent cut to $15
million for fiscal years 2012-
13. It is now providing com-
munity grants to just over
half the state. For fiscal years
2014-15, Governor Mark
Dayton has proposed a $40
million budget for SHIP that
would again make the pro-
gram statewide.
In 2012, Meeker-McLeod-
Sibley Community Health
Services received $428,000
for local health improvement
efforts.
To combat rising health
care costs, SHIP puts Min-
nesota at the center of a com-
munity-wellness movement.
At its core, the concept in-
volves supporting individu-
als’ healthy choices by mak-
ing those choices easier. For
example, encouraging people
to get outside and walk more
becomes easier in a commu-
nity with good sidewalks. En-
couraging people to eat
healthier becomes easier
when people have easy ac-
cess to fresh, high-quality
fruits and vegetables. Evi-
dence shows that in addition
to providing better health for
individuals, these changes
can help reduce health care
costs associated with chronic
diseases such as diabetes and
heart disease.
“A key goal of the health
department is to return SHIP
to a statewide program and
make sure that all communi-
ties in the state, not just a few
successful test-cases or early
adopters, can benefit from a
healthy-community ap-
proach,” said Commissioner
Ehlinger.
The report found that be-
cause of SHIP’s efforts since
2009, more than 140,000 stu-
dents in more than 200
schools now have more op-
portunities to walk to school
and more than 160,000 em-
ployees in more than 900
businesses are benefiting
from work place wellness
programs because of the
Statewide Health Improve-
ment Program (SHIP), the
Minnesota Department of
Health (MDH) announced
today.
SHIP offers local public
health agencies and tribal
governments grants to pursue
those health improvement
strategies most needed in
their area.
In Sibley County, these ef-
forts include working with
local cafeterias such as Sibley
East, GFW, Sibley Medical
Center, and Good Samaritan
Society of Winthrop in get-
ting more fresh fruits and
vegetables into their cafete-
rias. It also includes working
with Henderson and Gaylord
to expand and enhance their
local farmers markets, and
working with St. Paul’s
Lutheran School in Arlington
to make it easier and safer for
kids to walk or bike to
school.
Another example of these
efforts in our community is
with the Country Drive In, lo-
cated in Winthrop. The
Statewide Health Improve-
ment Program was able to as-
sist the Drive In by working
with them to find ways to
make some items on their
menu healthier, in some cases
by updating recipes, and in
other cases, by adding op-
tions such as applesauce as a
side to the children’s menu.
In addition, SHIP staff assist-
ed the Drive-In in labeling
their menu, so that customers
were able to identify and
order healthier items if they
chose to.
“This is just one example
of the health improvement ef-
forts going on in our commu-
nity,” adds Laura Reid, Pub-
lic Health Supervisor for Sib-
ley County Public Health &
Human Services. Across the
county, more kids are getting
healthy foods, families are
exposed to less tobacco
smoke, and more people can
get the physical activity they
need.”
Recent data show Min-
nesota now spends almost
$7,000 per capita each year
on health care. SHIP focuses
on root causes of poor health,
such as a lack of physical ac-
tivity, poor nutrition, and to-
bacco use, the leading drivers
of rising health care costs in
Minnesota. Minnesota spends
$2.9 billion in annual medical
costs (2007) as a result of to-
bacco use, and $2.8 billion in
annual medical costs as a re-
sult of obesity (2006).
In 2008, Minnesota policy
makers recognized that in
order to contain spiraling
health care costs, investments
in prevention were needed.
With bipartisan support, Min-
nesota passed a ground-
breaking health reform law
that included SHIP. Two-year
SHIP grants were awarded on
July 1, 2009 to all 53 commu-
nity health boards and nine of
11 tribal governments.
Local SHIP program helps make healthy living
easier for Meeker, McLeod and Sibley counties
Officials in the City of
Lafayette are trying to deter-
mine who will pay for more
than two million gallons of
water that went down the
drain in the basement of an
empty home, according to the
KNUJ Radio website. They
are discussing what to do
with the $19,000 utility bill.
City officials believe a con-
tractor or subcontractor left
the water valve open in the
foreclosed home on 11th
Street when it was winter-
ized.
The standing water in the
home’s basement was around
16 inches deep when it was
discovered. It had apparently
been running into a toilet and
then into the sewer which
saved the residence from ex-
tensive damage. The issue
was discovered after a resi-
dent in the neighborhood
heard running water in the
home and reported it.
